If you are looking for somewhere that feels like home while on vacation, this is the place. The house has charm with modern updates. We loved the hot tub and sitting by a fire each night. Karen and Neil provided everything you could think of and the amenities were plentiful. They also gave many suggestions of things to do in the area. The house was located between Lunenburg, Peggy's Cove and Halifax, which was perfect for us. We really appreciated the lovely stay and the amazing hosts. We will definitely stay again if we are in Nova Scotia

A spotlessly clean, amenity-loaded (hot tub, anyone??), beautiful house in a gorgeous spot handy to all kinds of natural beauty, activities, and amazing eats. The owners are so friendly and helpful, and clearly love the house and area. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

This is a gem in an amazing location. Well laid out, beautifully decorated, everything you need and more, love the beach and water equipment as well as the outdoor games! The hot tub with a view of the ocean was incredible. The owners answered all questions promptly. I will look forward to coming back again.

If you want that home away from home feel in beautiful NS, then this is the place for you!
Karen and Neil have thought of everything to make your stay relaxing and fun!
From the back deck, where you can have a leisurely start to your day, to access to bikes or kayaks to explore the area, or end your day in the hot tub…this property has something for everyone!
We were so glad we got to meet them and have a wonderful chat with them and the learn history of this restored heritage family home.
Karen even brought us over a charcuterie board when we said that was our dinner plan!
We will definitely be back…I miss the back deck already!
